Send us your favorite holiday family traditions

SAN ANTONIO — There's no place like home for the holidays, and we want to know what family traditions make the holidays special for Express-News readers.

Every year, shortly after Thanksgiving, my family members, young and old, gather to spend a weekend making about 100 dozen tamales. Aside from being our traditional Christmas Eve dinner, the tamales (declared each year as our best ever) are distributed throughout the family to last until the next tamalada.

But enough about my family — tell us about yours. Is there a certain holiday album you listen to every year? Which holiday movie is a must-see? Do you have a unique way to decorate your home? Do you drive around town looking at lights?

Email your family's holiday traditions to features@express-news.net. Put “Holiday Traditions” in the subject line, and include your name and daytime telephone number.
